Emmigrating teachers, like nurses, they are looking for greener pastures. Look @ salary increaments in your ELRC document from then to ur current scale. It is not pleasing.

Let us be realistic, "teaching is a calling", right, but does that mean we must be poorly remunerated. Something which is a calling should be respected and means be taken to retain those called.

Just like every being, we have needs, families to feed, kids to educate and other financial commitments, but hey we don't deserve better remunerations.

Other educators they migrate due to unfriendly work environment they are in (schools). Poor teaching standards by some colleagues. Neglecting our responsibilities and other host of reasons.

I think the main reason why teacher are emigrating is because of the discipline in the South African schools.  Learners don't want to listen to teacher anymore. In the overseas schools the learners have respect for the teachers and another thing i think is a reason is maybe the salary is better.
